EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Borrowing will be £122bn bigger than planned

They should print all the zero'es on those kind of numbers out. 122,000,000,000 is about 7 years worth of 350,000,000 a week that we (don't) send to the EU.

And, I think, those seven years have impacted since the vote in June.

Totally agree.

So on the FB page they clarified, supposedly the government thinks it's "just" 58.7 billion[edit due to brexit]

Queue the usual "but experts..." cherry picking ;)

Funnily enough, Sky news had the full number ticking up in line with inflation and interest payments, at the bottom of the screen this morning during the statement.

Some good news this morning, it seems Farage is set to emigrate to the US.

As a friend said on Twitter, "Man shits in corner, leaves room because it smells bad."

To cheers the MEP, who was first elected in 1999, declared: “For those of you who aren’t particularly happy with what happened in 2016, I’ve got some really bad news for you – it’s going to get a bloody sight worse next year.”

And right now, he may well be right. What a time to be alive.

Is he going to resign as an MEP then?

I'd bet he doesn't...

Why would he - when / if Article 50 is triggered, he's got a good two years of salary / expenses still available.

He's ridden the gravy train for 17 years now, doubt he's going to miss out on the remaining 2 years of it.

He doesn't go to any meetings anyway, being in a different country shouldn't make much of a difference.

12 months ago I would have put our Nige's chance of ever being PM at about 3000:1. Right now he is much more likely than the current leader of the labour party to be our next head of government.

Agggggggh!

With 1 MP, who hates him, I can't see UKIP forming a government, coalition or otherwise, in the next 5 years.

it seems Farage is set to emigrate to the US.

His people busy denying it.

A colleague snapped this pic of Farage yesterday:

WAC.

anti establishment party held by ex etonian at the ritz

is he doing the sarcasm intentionally or is he just that unaware

His team must be really devoted, dividing his latest crap up into individual portions, rolling it into balls, then carefully wrapping in gold foil.

I'd like to see a list of key issues for brexit voters and a tick box whether they are issues that are under full control of UK government or EU.

I suspect that most if the list is going to have a tick in the UK column.

You're nuts.

Who does actually like him? Some people must do. Who are they?

This tweet made me laugh:

Inspired by criticism of the #AutumnStatement by those who voted Leave I've binned my bathroom scales to stop me gaining weight over Xmas.

One of my Uncles I think :/

Will be sure to troll him with the 5% rise in food prices coming next year over Christmas lunch.

same people who like Clarkson

Cunts then.

^Oh man, for one small second it's all almost worth it.

I understand that there are about 20 different BrExit variations that you can get in it, and each time you play it, the outcomes are re-picked. they are weighted, and there is a slight chance that you get remain.

still, lols.
